2. Set her ablaze

last update Last Updated: 2022-10-28 09:36:36

Roberto walks with a lofty proud gait, in an attempt to impress his female employees. Roberto is a handsome guy, he is every lady's dream man. He springs forward to Bianca's ward to announce goodbye before he could take a leave from the hospital, he plans on finding the place she resides also.

“Bianca Williams, I have been searching for you for ages. Now that I've found you, I won't let go of you until you…” Roberto opens Bianca's ward door and twists the door knob. He stopped muttering to himself at first as he was in shock, his eyes were as wide as an owl's eye as the ward appeared empty.

He turned around as he glimpses a nurse with a tray filled with medicines striding to another patient's ward.

“Hey, did you discharge patient 2005 already?” Roberto asked as he paused the nurse from moving, pointing at Bianca's ward.

“I'm not sure but a man in black came claiming he is Bianca's husband, we let him in her ward.” The nurse explained, smiling sheepishly at Roberto.

“Is there any problem, Sir?” The nurse interrogated as she notices a frown on Roberto's face.

“Not at all. To attend to your patient, already.“ Roberto ordered. The nurse walks away to a ward beside Bianca's, blushing. This is the first time Roberto talked to his employee calmly, I guess Bianca broke him

Roberto drags his feet into ward 2005, he hunched as he sat on the patient's bed.

“Bianca said she is single, who could be this man claiming to be her husband?“ Roberto reasoned as he placed his elbow on his lap, resting his head on it on his hand, tipping his chin with his fingers.

Roberto gasps as he stood up.

“Could it be him? Henry?” Roberto doubts as he recollects the color of clothing Henry is on. Roberto adjusted his gaze to the window pane.

“Why would they leave the window open?” Roberto inquiries as he walks to the window side. He grabbed the window handle, he was about to shut it when he hears a person growling in pain.

Roberto looked out of the window, he raised his eyebrows as sighted a man in black from far away.

“Who could that be?” Curiosity envelops Roberto's mind.

He hopped out of the window with the help of the window pane, he landed on the brown and with his butts.

“Ouch!” Roberto said softly as he stood up, dusting the brown sand off his pant, he didn't know the window was that far from the ground.

Roberto turns around to see the man that was far away in black clothing.

“Huh!” he got surprised as he saw nothing instead than the man in black.

“Hello, is someone there?” Roberto's voice echoed. Henry leaned against a wall, hiding from Roberto.

“I must be hallucinating things.” Roberto chuckles as he hits his palm on his forehead. Unknown to Roberto, he wasn't hallucinating. Earlier, Henry ran away from that spot when he caught a glimpse of someone hopping out of the window. He was scared of people seeing him in that state, he was so scared of the questions Roberto will utter seeing his shot arm. He hid so he won't be exposed.

Roberto passed by Henry who was behind the wall as he walks towards his already cleaned white vehicle. Henry pulls his injured arm closer to himself as he walks away sneakily without anyone noticing him. Henry was in so much pain but he was dedicated to completing this mission. What makes Henry pained about this mission is that it is the first mission that looked like it was impossible.

“Any details of her current location? Over!” Henry whispers to his walk talky.

“She's at the ice cream shop beside that hospital. Eliminate her at once or I murder you in her stead, dumbass!” David yells threatening Henry.

Henry sighs.

He ran faster before he knew it he was in an ice cream shop. “This could be the place,” Henry said as he took a seat in the ice cream shop, acting normal as he scans around for Bianca. He glimpsed Bianca licking a cone of cream, he quickly grabbed the newspapers that were on the table, covering his face.

Henry kept on spying on her.

Bianca was thinking about how she could get rid of David moodily and anxiously. A smile beamed on her face as she remembers her mother, Sophia is coming over tonight. A burden was lifted off Bianca's chest, she knew no one can hurt her when her mother is around. David is always scared of hurting Bianca in Sophia's presence. He acts like a sweet and lovely dad in Sophia's presence because he needs to gain her trust.

Henry was unable to attack Bianca because of the crowded environment. Bianca turned around as her instincts tingles some sensations to her senses. Bianca glimpsed the man in black covering his face with newspapers, it was so obvious that he was using the newspapers as a cover.

Bianca rolls her eyes “He never gives up!”

A beautiful lady walked up to Henry.

“Hey, handsome. I saw you spying on me from the onset. I know you want me badly.” the lady winked at him as he placed a piece of paper on the table containing her contact details.

“Hmm… I am not interested!” Henry rejected her offer.

“Gosh, don't be shy.” The lady boastfully said as she walks away. Henry clutches the paper as he slid it into his pocket, smiling as he licked his lips. He was staring at her until she left the shop. Later on, he came back to his senses.

“Where did she go?” Henry let go of the newspaper as he stood up, scanning around anxiously.

Bianca ran away as she sighted a good opportunity to escape, she furrowed her brows thinking of how they located her again.

“Does that mean I have a tracking device on me?” Bianca asks herself.

Bianca walks slowly as she starts wondering where the tracker was hidden in her body.

Momentarily, she noticed two men in black behind her, trailing her movements.

“Gosh! They must be David's men, they are after me again. I can't deal with them all!” Bianca exclaims as she picked a race. The men in black followed, running after her. Bianca did not think twice before she jumped onto a busy road running for her precious life. A wine car sped towards Bianca, she paused in shock. The car halted at a stop two feet before Bianca.

“Phew” Bianca heaved a sigh, she thought she will be hit by that car at first.

“Bianca?” A soft voice asked. It was her close friend, Helen in the wine car. Helen creased her brows as she scans Bianca.

“What a coincidence! You come at the right time. Let me in, now.” Bianca yells as she hopped into the wine car with a smile on her face.

“Stay cool, why are you rushing like someone is after your life?” Helen inquired as she scans her.

Bianca's pounding heart was so audible that Helen became uncomfortable as she glares at her.

“Drive!” Bianca said repeatedly until Helen ignited the engine out of frustration speeding.

“Okay! Okay!” Helen whispered.

Helen questioned as she looks in the rare mirror noticing a group of men in black in a car, fully armed speeding after them.

“Who are they? Why are they driving towards my car?”

“They want to get rid of me,” Bianca said as his breathing became normal.

“Again? You know what? I am fed up with being your escape route all the time. Last time, I almost had my head off.” Helen scowls. Bianca leans her head on the seat, slumping her shoulders as she sighs.

“They saw us together. Which means you are with me.” Bianca let out.

“T…that means my life is also in danger.” Helen's voice cracks as her arms on the steering start shivering as she presses her feet on acceleration. It was like a car racing game, other cars left way for them.

“Exactly, we can only escape from them if I get rid of the tracking device installed on me somewhere,” Bianca said as she looks back at the car speeding after Helen's.

“Come on, get it away from us,” Helen yells driving roughly as the men in black behind them started shooting at their car.

“I don't know where it is.” Bianca stuttered.

“What?” They started arguing.

A bullet met the glass at the back of the car. The glass tatters on Bianca and Helen, they bent their heads as they broke into pieces.

“Holy shit!” Bianca growls.

“We are going to die.” Helen cries.

“No, we won't,” Bianca utters. Bianca squats on the chair facing the incoming black vehicle behind Helen's car, she brought out the gun she snatched from Helen.

“Should I pull over?” Helen's voice cracks as tears were welled in her eyes.

“Just keep driving. I will take care of them.” Bianca snarls.

“How?”

“OMG!, Bianca, you are with a gun. Are you crazy?” Helen scolds as her eyes met the gun in Bianca's hand. Helen's car bumped into a lot of cars, the car kept on speeding and David's men continued shooting.

Bianca pulls the trigger at the black car. It aimed at a man with a black forehead who was in charge of driving through the glass. The second in command grabs the steering as he bangs his feet on the brakes. They pulled over as they pushed out the dead driver on the road.

“You crazy asshole.” Helen chimes as the men in the black car became slower but the men did not stop shooting.

“Gosh, we are out of bullets,” Bianca said as she could not trigger another bullet. Helen freaks out as she got loose from the steering, she was sweating profusely.

“Helen, look out!” Bianca cries as her heart rate accelerated. Helen's car tire blowouts, and the car tips over unto its roof as they both screamed “Arrgh...”

The car rolled over with the wheels rolling. Helen hits her head on the steering as she passed away while Bianca passed away due to shock.

The men in black alighted from their cars as they moved towards Helen's cars with their guns pointed at the window side.

“She isn't dead.” Oscar, the second in command whispered in his walky-talky as he sighted unconscious Helen and Bianca. He is a man with one heart, though his blue-clam eyes can be deceiving at times.

“Set the car ablaze, then. I don't want her to stay alive for another second. I want a clean job, Oscar.” David's voice let out from the walky-talky.

Oscar nods signaling to his men, they sprinkled gasoline on the car as they all back off except, Oscar. Oscar lighted flames on the wine car.

The car exploded at once as Oscar moved back, he smirks watching the smoke out of the car.

“Let's move guys,” Oscar ordered as he turned his back when he noticed the car parts were turning to ashes, no one could stay close to it because of the burning heat which is like a volcano.

“Get that bulldog to the workshop, we need to clear some scores,” Oscar whispered to him as a grin shrank on his face.

“We captured him there already but why would we want to murder the third man in command? He is one of us, we are family, aren't we?” A man in black questions.

Oscar clenched his fist on the gun in its sheath as he pulled the trigger at his forehead. He fell flat on the floor with a hole in his forehead as blood splashed on Oscar's lips.

Oscar licked the man's blood that was on his lips.

“Do anyone of you have questions, also? ” Oscar asks as he points the gun at them all.

“No! No!” They all echoed.

“Gosh! I was so happy that I would send you all to your earlier graves.” Oscar pouts as he hopped in his car, chuckling in a low tone.

“Bastards!” He exclaimed.

Oscar sped to the warehouse. He treads to the warehouse, he touched the door and is about to slide it open when he heard Henry's grunt.

“Let me go, I'm your leader!” Henry grunts in pain.

Oscar flung the door wide open, he had a glamorous smile on his face as he noticed sweat and blood flowing from Henry who was hung on the roof with a sharp chain, a knife that gave him scars as he tried to release himself. Henry waggles his floating legs as his hands raise aloft his whole body.

“I will never share my pay with you, I'm fed up with giving you everything.” Henry pledged which resounded in Oscar's ear.

Oscar signaled to his men to evacuate the room. They all marched out.

    “You are aware that I'm not after David's pay, you dumb ass. Where are the documents?” Oscar forced air violently through the nose with a rough harsh sound as he let out with bare teeth, he lifts his disgruntled face to Henry. “Ah ah, so that's what this is about?” Henry chuckles. “Will you stop beating around the bush?” Oscar questioned as he sat on a cushioned chair, fixing his gaze on Henry's smiling face. “Why should I give you something that's not yours? Before our leader, Mr. Chu the first in command died, he transferred all his riches to me which makes me a millionaire with just a document.” Henry explained with the corners of his mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed. “Why would he give the documents to the third in command when I, the second in command still in existence? Why?” Oscar questions as he stood up, pacing back and forth. “Why would he give me his property documents a few minutes before his death? Remember he died in your office. There is something fishy a

I was defeated by a beautiful feeble damsel.” Henry chuckles as he slams his palm on his forehead.“You were so fortunate Oscar didn't find you or else you would be in hell by now,” Henry mutters as he played with her hair.

What about the blood bank?” Henry asked hastily. Bianca watched the cops take Hannah.

It might be too late when they arrive.” Tue doctor explained.“I can't lose my son. No!
